But this ‘charch, situs- ated attbe National Capital, tas oad the at- tention of the country directed to it, and we bave, in a measure, been pat on trial before the country. Andas charges, of acerious charac- ter, have been widely circulated, both against the courch and pastor, we felt that the inter: ests of Congregationalism demanded hat these charges should be investigated and prononaced upon by the representatives of our sister eburcbes. Those who first formed this charch ame from some filteen Stace, and from about fitty churches, representing all the various shades of doctrine and phase of church polity found m the Congregational body.

Au iu vestigating com- mritee subsequently reported that such & etep would imperil the church, and this report was adopted. Even the ez parte Council selected and called together by the minority, atter hearing the statements of the minority—and theirs alene— de clined to recommend the severing of the pas- tors! relation. While the cburch holds that a minority, or- gauized as cuch, has no right to pe heard before this Council upon the question or ending the pastoral relation, Lon my own part am quite willing that the same ns who claun to act im tehalf of the miuority, should appear here, and represent all who choose to be rep- resented by thei ith liberty to lay b-fore you, and sustain if they can, the same charges Whi.b were made sgamet the pastor at ibe s called ez porte Council.
